The Fall Elections.

The general result of the fall cleo
tions may be termed a drawn battle.
The republicans hold the states that
they have previously held; so do the
democrats. In New York. the "piv-
otal state" the republicans made a
resOlute attempt to recover the state.
While they made gains, the odds
were too great to overcome. { oil.
Fred y. Grant, the republican candi-
date for secretary of state, made q
gallant canvass. but it is doubtful if
his selection for the republican stand
ard-bearer gave the republicans any
special strength. The American peo-
pie have never taken with enthusiasm
to the idea Of hOnoring a son, hOwev-
er worthy, for the illustrious deeds of
his father. The genius of popular
government insists that every tab
shall stand on its own bottom that
every man shall be rated for what he
is and does not for what his sire
may have been and did. Col. Grant
no doubt is fine young man, but he
has his spurs to win, like every other
American boy. The Henry George
vote in New York hardly came up to
expectations, but may prove more
potent factor next year.
The republicans of Massachusetts
did their duty nobly, and the state
remains firm and upright in the re-
publican column The campaign
against Governor Ames was conduct
ed on a low plane, and the result is a
signal defeat for the style of cam
paigning made by the Globe. Dir.
Lowering Is not only badly beaten,
but his party suffers reverses that
whittle down It's general strength.
Governor Ames has made an excel
lent magistrate in ali respects, and
his triumphant reelection sill be
hailed with satisfaction all over the
country. Governor Ames' veto OF
the Beverly Farms bill, which was
tainted with lobby Influences, struck
a responsive chord throughout the
state and proved that Massachusetts
had an executive who could be relied

lie morality. Governor Ames of
Massachusetts and Governor Sawyer
of New Hampshire are pre-eminent
in this respect
Ohio and Pennsylvania continue to
he emphatically republican. Gov. For
aller is reelected by a decisive major
ity. 4 gallant soldier, an eminent
jurist and an intrepid politician, Gov
ernor Foraker, although still a young
man. has become known to the cOun-
try and already yields wide intiu-
ence. Pennsylvania continues the
keystone of the republican arch.
Iowa remains tue to republicanism
and prohibition. Rhode isianG re-
turns to her place in the republican
column, electing a republican con-
gresham. Maryland, Virginia and
Mississippi are democratic of course.

siOnary bodies, and headed by eX-
Justice Strong, called upon President
Cleveland recently and stated their
case. They showed, conclusiyely,
that the order, as construed by the
commissioner, was moral calamity,
debarring $4,000 adult Indians from
religious instruction, causing the dis
continuance of many mission schools,
and suspending all ethical and biblical
teaching of $4,000 Indian youth un-
til they had acquired sufficient knowl-
edge of English to comprehend such
teaching The delegation sympathiz-
eel with the purpose of the govern
ment to enforce the study of English
